NFT: Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer

is now available. I am really liking how this looks so far!
Ghostbusters:Afterlife - ( New Window )
Agree

Pretty sure that was Venkman/Murray on the voiceover towards the end. Figure they'll have to work a couple of those guys in somehow?
Hmmm, I like the angle they are taking

as Harold Ramis' grandkids.... especially knowing the original cast is in the movie.

Fingers crossed, I love Ghostbusters.

It absolutely was. I believe they all are in it at some point.
actually looks really good

like the spin they put on it. Especially using the kid from stranger things. Perfect casting... hopefully one of our heroes shows up.
Bill, Dan, and Ernie

are all supposed to be in it at some point.
Yup, that was Murray  
bigblue5611_2 : 12/9/2019 9:53 am : link
The whole original cast I believe is in it. The only one that I haven't see confirmed is Rick Moranis.
The tone of the trailer was kind of odd

Seemed too serious

That voiceover dialogue was taken directly from the first movie, when Venkman and Ray are talking on the steps of the college after being fired by the dean.
Cautiously optimistic about this one.

Paul Rudd is a good fit for Ghostbusters family, and Carrie Coon is excellent in general.

One thing I noticed right away in the trailer was the gate the kids were approaching - Shandor Mining Company. Ivo Shandor was part of that Gozer cult in the original. I doubt it has real relevance to the plot of this one, but I'd expect a bunch of random callbacks to the original.

Seeing the four uniforms hanging in the closet was pretty cool.
I like Paul Rudd and I'm a big fan of Carrie Coon.

She was fantastic in The Leftovers.

I did enjoy the brief shot of Egon's collection of spores, molds, and

I do hope it's not just a bunch of kids fighting ghosts the whole time. I'd imagine whatever climactic confrontation there is at the end will require the old guys to come in and lend a helping hand.

They will undoubtedly have a role, I don't think they'll give many, if any glimpses, of Murray, Aykroyd and Hudson in the trailers.

I do think it will be something like what you mentioned, where they come in later in the movie, at least not until midway through. I think that is where all the talk of "handing off to a newer generation" came in when they first spoke of this movie.
Cool  
Johnny5 : 12/9/2019 10:36 am : link
Looking forward to it
From what I've read, their appearances are basically cameos  
Greg from LI : 12/9/2019 10:37 am : link
I don't think they're going to do much more than provide exposition.

It will still be fun to see Dr. Peter Venkman again, though.
Oh, and I will be supremely disappointed.....  
Greg from LI : 12/9/2019 10:38 am : link
....if there are no references to the Spates Catalog or Tobin's Spirit Guide in this one.
I don't recall hearing anything about a Sigourney Weaver cameo.  
bceagle05 : 12/9/2019 10:40 am : link
It would be fun to see her, too.

I kind of like that. I think Star Wars movies have largely sucked because they go overboard trying to replicate the tone and atmosphere of the original three while the plot falls short.

This looks like it will still have its moments of Ghostbuster humor, but maybe more in the Stranger Things vein.
Where Janine at?  
Optimus-NY : 12/9/2019 10:44 am : link
HaHa!! Who did Egon procreate with too?
Yes it's true

I know that the kid from Stranger Things is in it and it seems like an easy connection, but the trailer definitely felt like they were going with that vibe.

Really wouldn't shock me if Janine was written in as Egon's wife - they always had that weird yet hilarious sexual tension (though she and Louis were in a quasi-relationship when the story left off).
Looked awesome to me  
KDubbs : 12/9/2019 11:00 am : link
But they had me on board from the start with the 4 main actors/actresses attached
Found another little nugget in the trailer...  
bceagle05 : 12/9/2019 11:06 am : link
At one point when Carrie Coon and the kids are in the house you can see a symmetrical book stack in the background.

This article says she'll be in it...
Sigourney Weaver - ( New Window )
It can be any worse than the last attempt at a reboot  
giantsFC : 12/9/2019 12:33 pm : link
Or can it?
Thanks for sharing, I completely missed that report.  
bceagle05 : 12/9/2019 12:34 pm : link
At the very least, it'll be fun to see the band back together.
There are females  
pjcas18 : 12/9/2019 12:36 pm : link
in it.

Pass.
I can’t wait  
tyrik13 : 12/9/2019 9:32 pm : link
Till this comes out!! I’ve been a huge Ghostbusters fan my whole life and this looks to be fantastic! I’m happy they let Jason Reitman take over the reins, as it was his father Ivan who directed the first two. He’ll do the franchise proud

I agree. Kids fighting ghosts with the grown-up toys is kinda cheap.

I'll watch anything she is in.. she's amazing.

Still highway robbery that she never won an Emmy for The Leftovers.
